Proudly made in Germany, ZWILLING Pro knives were designed to be an extension of your hand, featuring an innovative curved bolster that supports the professional pinch grip. Our most user-friendly collection offers comfort, balance, and precision. Forged from a single piece of our proprietary special-formula steel, ZWILLING Pro knives set the standard in sharpness, durability and ergonomics. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, and hold their edge longer. This 5.5-inch hollow-edge santoku is perfect for small kitchen tasks. Santoku - Japanese for "three virtues" - excels at three cutting techniques: expertly mince garlic, slice cucumber, and dice onions with this smaller-sized Asian all-rounder. The hollow edge features a blade that has small indentations that prevent food from sticking while cutting. Curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, encouraging cutting with improved precision, safety, and comfort Made from special-formula, high-carbon stainless steel SIGMAFORGE - Single piece, forged knife Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer Precision-honed blade and laser-controlled edge for superior sharpness Full tang and handle are triple riveted for superb stability and comfort Dishwasher safe, hand wash recommended Made in Germany, with lifetime warranty
